Sylver’s founder and president, Brianna Sylver, announced today that she, along with Mozilla’s user experience research lead, Cori Schauer, will be speaking at Northwestern University on May 7, 2013. In their one hour talk, Sylver and Schauer will dive into their topic, “Designing for the Next 2 Billion Users: Firefox OS Focuses on Emerging Markets” where they will share key learnings and impacts of Sylver Consulting and Mozilla’s collaborative work together in Brazil and Colombia.

Mozilla has designed an open mobile platform to bring the Internet to a new set of users in emerging markets. Firefox OS is set to launch into emerging markets worldwide beginning Summer 2013. During the presentation, attendees will get an opportunity to see the device, learn about its development and appreciate what it means to truly know your user and how that knowledge has supported Mozilla in creating a better user experience.

The public is invited to attend this event on May 7, 2013 from 4-5pm CST at Northwestern University’s Ford Motor Company Engineering Design Center located at 2133 Sheridan Rd, Room 1.350 in Evanston, IL 60208.
